I haven't heard any comparison of cost per mile on the electrics. It isn't free to fill up and wonder what the price differance is. I know that you aren't plugging that thing in at my house when you do a service call

IMO having a bigger truck saves on gas because you're going to the supply house less. You're never going to have everything but this eliminates the trips every day of the week. Take a look on past invoices and see which materials you're really turning over. I agree with Pcrack on getting rid of the 7500 and vacuum. I also have the ridgid vacuum but I can't wait for it to die so I can get the dewalt 18v vacuum which was better suited for my needs. Also get in habit of putting things back when you get done and remember you should be charging your customers for having to clean your truck. It's part of the cost of doing business.

Buy cheap, buy twice.
